Design Mart Silicon Valley Opens Doors on Hospitality Division

San Jose, March 8, 2010 – Design Mart Silicon Valley, a “to-the-trade-only” furnishings showroom , announced today that the company has launched a new division to handle FF&E’s (Furnishings, Fixtures & Equipment) for hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, country clubs, assisted living centers, conference centers, and banquet facilities.

It’s a proven fact that when it comes to hospitality “newer is better” in the eyes of patrons. Newly renovated properties achieve higher revenues as well as continued growth from repeat customers.

Working with professional designers and commercial establishments, Design Mart Hospitality will provide furnishings, project management, logistical support, and installation services that help designers and property owners realize their projects on time and on budget. As a result, properties in need of renovation will be transformed into more attractive venues, driving rates while satisfying guests.

“Our comprehensive team approach allows our design clients to maintain their focus on the creative aspects of the job, and allows property owners to focus on serving their guests” states Kevin Daroca , cofounder of Design Mart and head of the Hospitality Division.

“Once a design has been approved, our project managers step in to handle the minutia and detail related to making this design a functional reality. We try to insulate the designer and property owner from all but the most critical decisions related to production methods and quality. We also do the heavy lifting on all schedule coordination, shipping logistics and site delivery. That’s our job.”

Design Mart Hospitality’s team approach is led by an experienced project manager committed to providing exceptional service and satisfaction. Meetings will be held to gather information, understand priorities, establish the scope of the project, determine budgets, and discuss responsibilities. Then a plan will be tailored to meet each client’s particular needs, objectives and concerns.

“Whether it is new construction or a renovation, Design Mart will prove an invaluable resource for the designer and property owner as their vision is taken to final installation” said Daroca .
